1 NASDN TASK BOOK HUMAN REMAINS DETECTION- LAND Handler: Name Last: First: Organization (if applicable) Canine: Call Name Registered Name (if applicable) Reg. Organization Breed Gender / DOB Color / Markings 1
2 Purpose: The purpose of this task book is to document the combination of knowledge, skills and abilities that, when acquired, demonstrates the competencies needed to request a NASDN Canine Evaluation. Members must be observed completing all tasks and show knowledge, competency, and consistency in their performance during the completion of this task book. Task Books: A separate Task Book must be completed for each canine discipline. A canine team is defined a specific handler with a specific canine. There are four NASDN task books; three discipline specific, and one general SAR book. Area Search Human Remains Detection K9 Mantrailing General SAR Each discipline specific task book includes all basic and specialty skills as well as a practice skill assessment test. The general task book lists skills that are non-discipline specific, but desirable for search and rescue work. These include, but are not limited to, first aid, navigation, incident command, physical fitness, blood borne pathogens, etc. Most of these skill sets are available through other professional agencies and NASDN will not evaluate teams in these areas. NASDN Evaluations: NASDN has specific evaluation standards for the following: Area Search acre wilderness Human Remains Detection small area, small source K9 Mantrailing basic and advanced NASDN also supports Specialty Evaluations, upon request. The Canine Evaluation in that discipline must have been successfully completed, prior to requesting a Specialty Evaluation. Examples of Specialty evaluations can include, but not limited to scent specific area search, multiple victim area search, large area/large source human remains detection, etc. Signature authority: The task books should be signed off by a qualified witness. NASDN evaluations must be conducted and signed by approved NASDN evaluators. Definitions and qualifications for these personnel are listed in the NASDN Evaluator and Instructor Standards. Task Book Skill Sets: All tasks will be hands-on skill demonstrations. Each item has a requirement designation (R or O), as outlined below. R - Required for the NASDN Canine Evaluation. O Optional but highly recommended The task book required (R) skill sets must all be completed within 24 months of the earliest signature date listed in order to request a NASDN Canine Evaluation. It is recommended that these skill sets be conducted during the daytime in moderate terrain and weather. However, it is also highly advised that the K9 team train these skills at night and in adverse conditions. All tasks should be worked as blind to the handler when being signed off by a qualified witness. The task book is not required to be repeated once initial NASDN Evaluation in that discipline has been achieved for that team. NASDN does recommend you continue to train toward the Skill Sets listed in the Task Book and use the Skill Assessment Test to maintain proficiency. 2
3 NOTE: Due to the limited time available at NASDN seminars, NASDN prefers that Skill Sets and Skill Assessment Tests are completed locally to the greatest extent possible. Task Book Skills Assessment Test: At the end of each discipline task book is a Skills Assessment Test. This test is a compilation of the various skills needed to prepare for an evaluation. It is a practice test to help the K9 team put all the individual skills together. (Compare it to a team scrimmage after all the individual players become proficient at the drills). The more proficient the K9 becomes at this exercise, the more prepared they will be to evaluate and search. It is highly recommended for the K9 Team to do these periodically. This should be conducted with a qualified witness in order to identify areas that need additional training. Canine Evaluation: Requests should be submitted in advance, utilizing NASDN s Evaluation Request form. Only an approved NASDN Evaluator may conduct the Canine Evaluation. If you have multiple NASDN Evaluators and prior to the evaluation, the K9 Team that is being evaluated will be notified who the Lead NASDN Evaluator is, the Lead Evaluator will be the designate and have final voice to any concerns with the evaluation. Once the Evaluation has successfully been completed and passed, you will be supplied with a NASDN Certificate of Completion which will expire 24 months from the date of completion. Canine Evaluation Renewal: Requests should be submitted in advance, utilizing NASDN s Evaluation Request form. Only an approved NASDN Evaluator may conduct the Canine Evaluation. If you have multiple NASDN Evaluators and prior to the evaluation, the K9 Team that is being evaluated will be notified who the Lead NASDN Evaluator is, the Lead Evaluator will be the designate and have final voice to any concerns with the evaluation. Once the Evaluation has successfully been completed and passed, you will be supplied with a NASDN Certificate of Completion which will expire 24 months from the date of completion. The evaluation standard and test for renewal is the same as the initial evaluation test. The renewal evaluation will be conducted at the highest level obtained that this K9 team successfully completed (ie if you have passed a basic evaluation and then successfully passed the advanced level, when requesting to renew your evaluation, you only have to update at the advanced level, not at basic Level). K9 team will be allowed to take the advanced Evaluation for one year past its lapsed date before being required to start again at the basic level. 3
